public class WarningMessageDialog
extends MessageDialog

A Dialog preconfigured to present a cautionary message to the user and to request confirmation of an action.

Be careful not to overdo it - a Dialog popping up to confirm every last action is a) really annoying and worse b) will desensitize the user to the message - they will just start ignoring the Dialog and thus probably miss the chance to avoid something really important.

This is a modal MessageDialog of type WARNING with an "Ok" Button for the user to confirm they want to proceed, and a "Cancel" Button for them to abort the operation.

 final Window w;
 final Dialog d;
 final ResponseType result;
 
 d = new WarningMessageDialog(w, "You are about set off the fire alarm",
         "Is that what you really want to do?");
 result = d.run();
 
 d.hide();
 if (result == ResponseType.OK) {
     // do dangerous action
 }
